Fsmashing while holding a throwing item. This was possible in brawl as well, and its one of the things that carried over. i NEVER see anyone make an attempt at this at all other than a few other link players. with more characters having the ability to spawn throwing items, I feel like people should learn this. Not only for those that have throwing items though either, it should be something to learn in matchups AGAINST those with em. Its great for throwing people off as a mindgame tool as no one ever expects it.
with a gcn controller; link/toonlink/peach, soon as you are in the animation for pulling the item out, hold the A button. Keep it held and you won't throw the item, now use the C-stick to Fsmash(only works with Fsmash) you'll do the forward smash instead of throwing the item, can catch opponents offguard who thought you were going to throw the turnip/bomb.
All other characters like diddy rob etc., (or if you as link/tlink/peach didn't hold it during the original animation) grab the item you spawned(or if the opponent spawned it), then perform a roll(i'm sure other moves can do it, but I find rolling to be the easiest) during the roll animation, hold the A button, rest is the same as before, just keep the Abutton held and use the c-stick to perform the smash.
Obviously don't get too predictable and use this way to much as opponents will come to expect it, still I feel like its something more players should try to work into their games if they can spawn throwing items or if you're against someone who can.
